Any recommendations on the proper configuration of Win XP and
UNIX -> Windows printing using VisionFS 3.10.911?

Given: WinXP user has an XP login ID and password.
Given: visionfs print --install unixprinter winhost winprinter
       --user username --password userpassword

 Then: visionfs print --list returns for all to see:

       unixprinter \\winhost\winprinter username:userpassword

So how do we protect Win XP user's password?

Do we go to all WinXP systems and add a user account just for
printing: I.E. user name "printuser" with minimal XP privileges
so that wide spread knowledge of the "printuser" password will not
compromise the customer's XP system security?

An just what is the point of WinXP requiring a user name and password
to print to an XP shared printer anyway?
